Asus GeForce GTX 1070Ti 8Go OR Asus ROG Strix VEGA64 8Go With my Intel i5-3570k

[...]

Hello,


Currently I have a Sapphire 7970 and I am planning to upgrade it, after a lot of research on the Internet I still can't decide which one sould I get, because I have an old Intel i5-3570k that I have since I mounted my computer. So I don't know if it's a good idea to use these GPUs with my current CPU as I won't get the most out of the GPUs.

Your i5 will seriously hold back both GPUs. Aim for a GTX 1060 6gb or RX 580 8gb and start saving up for a new CPU, mobo and DDR4 RAM.

I am planning to mount another computer with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X in the near future. So I was wondering if it's worth it to buy it now and *use it while* I am planning to mount the other computer.

If you are planning on buying a R7 later, sure go ahead.

The Vega 64 is a bit faster then the 1070 ti. If the prices are similar aim for the Vega 64 or a 1080.

vega 64 has the lead in those 2 cards, though its also more expensive, but, it will allow you to make use of freesync which is a bonus.

Also, since your current parts are a bit old, make sure your psu can handle the new gpu.

About the prices I have found the 1060 that I want for arround 350€ and the VEGA64 for 550€.
So I was thinking for that price difference of 200€, it's better to get one for once. Instead of getting the 1060 then when I mount the other computer sell the 1060 and lose money then buy a better GPU like the VEGA64 / 1070. But idk

That depends on the game resolution and frame rate target

If they are the same price, get the Vega 64 unless you have a Gsync monitor, then get Nvidia.

Pc power & cooling, a-okay so far.

thats a good price for a vega 64 with a custom cooler, im actually one of the few with a vega 64 and got to say i was reasonably impressed with its performance, and that was with the stock blower cooler.

the 3570k is fine still with those cards, if you overclock it properly that is, at stock, you'll be loosing some performance, but, not much, id test it for you, but, honestly it would be to much of a pain (ive got a 3570k and a vega 64 sitting in my lounge right now) as the 3570k isd in a case that wont take the vega, and i am planning to fix that issue next weekend lol.

good luck.

I hope I won't get disapointed. The current GPU I have, I bought it almost 5 years ago and I'm quite surprised it lasted those 5 years, especially because I have used it a lot.

So I think I'll get that VEGA64.

Thank you very much guys for the quick replies, I really appreciate it

Forgive me for asking, but why an R7? For any kind of gaming build I'd recommend an i5 or i7 K-Series instead, better performance.

The R7 makes a great streaming and workstation CPU, but it loses out against the K-Series twins for pure power.
